#reconnection
It has been three years. I've been thinking of you; quoting you in conversations and realizing you were away; stopping before calling you because I thought you had forgotten me; not texting you because I didn't want to be marked as spam. It has been three years. Life has gone on, I have things to tell you. Three years of things I couldn't tell you. Now that we've met again I'll say it: It had been three years.

Retrouvailles
Now I am breathing fear In and out In and out The shame is all I hear But all I am still is floating In awareness.

In and out
You hated the smell of cigarettes  So I stopped smoking  Even when you're long gone I still haven't picked it back up Because I am still hopeful That you'll come back Bumping into you, talking to you And still showing  I cared about the little things  After all this time

Cigs
Don’t believe the words I wrote in that fleeting moment of storm, about forgetting you. They were born of hurt, not truth. My eternity, still longs for you. Even silence, echoes your name.

Come Back to Me
I’ve always said that I lack self-control Can’t make a horse stop to drink Can't get my thoughts complete No matter how much I think I try to think my morality is a compass, but I’m scared, That this is only true if someone needs me To navigate, I don't know where I’m going So what good is a compass to me? I don't want To go places, I just want to go With people, and if I can be with people I’ll think of myself a guide, a mentor, a helper. But riding on the whims of others is no form Of Discipline, the kind our parents gave us Wasn't real because discipline isn't something Given its something found inside yourself, And I’m still searching because Im weak To my own desires as I am to others And I’m even weaker still to you I didn't even need to be with people When I could be with you, it scared me. I’m a Grandfather clock floating off the seaside And every hour on the hour thoughts of you bang Through my head like piano notes, starting few In the afternoon, Ring, Ring-Ringg, Ring-Ringg-Ringgg You sound in my mind a dozen times every midnight And while I flow above this Green Sea, I see a light- House, Shining Pink-Orange at me, but theres a gray Fog between us, not gray ash, but blue-gray, like Chartreux I checked your spotify today, I'm sure you can tell, One of the bangs told me to, and we both know How well I say no, But i'm glad it did, because it Let me know, that you feel the gray too, and maybe Pink-Orange as well?

Over-Thoughts and Under-Thinkings
I spoke to you last Friday, Lights dim and skirts brushing the floor. You were wearing folds of blue, Clad in pleats and flowers. We talked about nothing of importance, Pockets and converse and models. I kept waiting for that recognition, The twinge in my chest I always feel. I didn't feel it. I looked at your face, heard your voice, Eyes shadowed with sparkle. I didn't miss you. I remember our late-night chats, Endless conversations just like this one. I couldn't see that girl in you. I wonder, I can't help it, If you felt that way as well? One thought stuck in my mind, A question you will never hear; When you were choosing your dress, In a colour I always loved on you, The shade of blue I say you've always shone in. Did I ever cross your mind? Did you think of me? Did you remember my praises fondly, Remember the colour I loved you to wear? I kept thinking of that dress after that, Of our first conversation since you left. I miss that girl. But I don't miss you. I think I could be friends with you, The girl in the light blue dress. The girl I used to know.

Light Blue
Where did the sunlight go that we used to lace between the gaps in our fingers? Remember how we would make threads from the light and tie them to our hopes to string them along as we'd navigate our childhood dreams?

Catching Up
I was always a seeker of deeper meaning and truth no matter how painful they might be because nothing else could promise liberation you either play inside a cobweb or break it For me the cobweb took little longer to untangle but at least it did Shall I indulge in grief for the time wasted or listen to the loud voice of my fearless eternal soul not a hard choice as reconnection is already made.

Reconnection
Time comes and goes, Yet here we are. The same as we once were, Only slightly different. Feelings have not changed. Forever I will love you. Forever you will be my standard. Nothing every changes my darling, So welcome back. Shall we pick up where we left off?

cinniúint ( destiny) old irish tongue
All of my life I wanted to be your little girl I tried even after you forgot to pick me up forgot it was "our weekend" forgot how to love me. I bent over backwards attempting to be the apple of your eye but you were always looking just past me like I wasn't even there It took me a long time to grasp the fact that people change that you had changed it took me even longer to realize your distance wasn't my fault I know I have haunted you the child you tried to forget the one that always loved you especially when you didn't deserve it I hope your guilt never dies out I hope it continues to consume you that me, finding you, giving you another undeserved chance eats you alive what kind of man are you? are you even a man at all?

I was the last one waiting
all fell silent around me tho could hear humansounds from highway now ethereal as if noise had been turned down on world no longer screeching threat where is everyone what are they doing suddenly irrelevant as now realized piece of every soul i ever touched i carry with me forever i light at night to keep warm big fireside grinning buddha meditation never forgetting until so swollen with joy of our six degrees beautiful imperfect chaos crashing can hardly breathe but to love everyone all better now no longer cold and empty can feel multitude of proud heartbeats can hear a thousand new cough lungs sweet histories and meanings left with calm immobility no need to tell they know too the cold night old soul warm heart connection now sure of this paralyzing somatic reconnection creep thru solemn autumn garden whoever's next in line can have what's left done fighting
